MR. MCANDREW: Have you, read my book, Mr. Will?
MR. WILL: Have not.
MR. MCANDREW: It'd be a good to start,
MR. WILL: I'll do it.
MR. MCANDREW: But what I'll just say is that because what these
people have said that they've seen did not exist in 1947, so there's a
problem right there.
MR. WILL: What didn't exist in 1947? ,
MR. MCANDREW: The detailed descriptio~s of not only the dummies, but
the vehicles, the procedures, the individuals, right down to the red tape
that was on the collar of -
MR. DONALDSON: But these were people later who claimed to be
eyewitnesses, people who saw that there was an autopsy going on of these
little men. I mean, did they make it up?
MR. MCANDREW: I think that autopsy didn't come till about two years ago.
MR. DONALDSON: Well, wait a moment. Hold on a moment. These people
claim that they saw it back then. The fact that they didn't come forward
until recently does not necessarily mean that their claim is inaccurate.
MR. MCANDREW: Well, if you're talking about the mortician's'account?
MR. DONALDSON: Yeah.
MR. MCANDREW: Okay, there)s a hole in his story you can drive a hearse
and two flower cars through.
MR. DONALDSON: Well, drive it through.
MR. MCANDREW: The people he describes as having been there were not
there. And then some of those people are deceased, but I found one who's
alive and well and living in Aztec, New Mexico. He's very upsetthat'his
-" that he's being portrayed as having been involved.
MS. DOUGLASS: Isn't this really a matter of the credibility of the
government in continuing to try to answer the questions ab,out what
happened? I mean - (inaudible)-
MR. MCANDREW: Well -
MS. DOUGLASS: - - version, is you have crash dummies dropping from the
sky, their fingers broke off, so they only had four fingers. Plus somebody
-- a parachuter who was injured and his head swelled. Isn't t9is a matter
that hasn't been handled especially well by those who keep trying·to
explain it?
MR. MCANDREW: Let me address why the Air Force got involved. In 1994,
we were directed by Congress to investigate this. And we did, and we
published a·report. And subsequent to that, we found other information
which described these -- which would account for these alien bodies. So
you're,kind of in a catch-?2. If you go forward with the information,
you're on a wild goose chase and people don't like that. If you don't go
forward with the information, you've got a cover-up going. So we opted for
a UFO glasnost and just lay it on the table and let'people decide for
theirself.
MS. DOUGLASS: But you still can't answer the that was raised
in "Independence Day, " and that is, what goes on in area 51', where
everyone who believes in the UFOs and the aliens believes that they're,
experimenting on the bodies of extraterrestrials? What ,is going on in area
51?,
MR. MCANDREW: I thought it was a great movie, and I think you should
try and pin the Air Force down on that. I'm ,here representing myself.
MR. DONALDSON: Well, let's, look at one of the stories, which was that
there was this ghastly odor, this terrible odor, which must have been the
bodies in the autopsy, little men. '
MR. MCANDREW: Well, now we're getting into something that is not too
pleasant and that's really not worth laughing about, is that '-
MR. DONALDSON: Well, I'm,not laughing. I'm asking about it.
MR. MCANDREW: Well, based on the rese.arch that we conducted, those were
probably dead Air Force members' killed in an aircraft crash. And that's
another element is that everybody takes this tongue in cheek, and rightly
so, but we're talking about scientific projects being misrepresented and
dead and injured Air Force people being misrepresented. It just r'eSJ,uired a
response.
MS. DOUGLASS: Captain, the polls show that 80 percent of Americans
believe that the government knows more than it's"saying about
extraterrestrials. Does the government know more than it's saying about
extraterrestrials? .
MR. MCANDREW: Well, I don't think they know more than I d~ because
I did the research, and I'm telling you that this Roswell incident is
exactly as it appears in this book.
